In what ways has leisure participated in shaping knowledge? What exactly is the ontological

How does the opposition of 'otium' and 'negotium' inform and configure leisure activities?

I want to explore what constitutes "healthy" pleasure in texts from this era; what are the
cultural uses of pleasure and what risks attend overindulgence in pleasure; how can pleasure lead or metamorphose into such dysphoric states as madness, hysteria, hypochondria, and addiction for writers of this era? What are the risks that attend the communication of pleasure?
